3 Live Plants Sitka Spruce Picea sitchensis Starter Plants

Sitka Spruce is a fast-growing evergreen conifer known for its dense, graceful form and silvery blue-green needles. As the tallest native spruce in North America, it develops a narrow, conical crown that makes a striking vertical accent in larger landscapes and a valuable evergreen for windbreaks and naturalized plantings.

The fine, sharp-tipped needles and layered branching give Sitka Spruce excellent texture and year-round structure. It works well as a specimen tree, in shelterbelt rows, or grouped in woodland gardens. Starter plants establish readily when kept evenly moist and given room to mature. Average growth is moderate to fast under favorable conditions.
